Not to mention a lot of good ballads and "Evita" (not my cup of tea, though) within there. "Hollywood" was probably a hit in England. I think all of her singles released off the album where Top ten. Does anyone know a site where you can check British chart history for artists because I would love to see it?

Her UK chart history from American Life era.

If you go to www.dotmusic.com you can keep up with the UK charts.

Dang! Thanks for the info. I never understood why "Nothing Fails" never got a video or a worldwide release. Shame! I hate to bug you, but where did you get those stats. I was interested in looking up the history of some aritsts and their UK chart history. Dotmusic is now Launch UK and they have the current charts, but not histories.

What's so great about the velvet underground? they sound like crap to me and I find their lyrics pretentious.

Oh and Madonna is definitely not one of the top five musical acts of rock n roll.

All hail, the queen of POP!

Fuck all madonna haters!

It has nothing to do with rock and roll.
it's the 5 essential acts in music, and since pop music has become such a big impact in our world today, Madonna definately applys

If ya don't know, ya betta axe somebody.

Just because Madonna lives in England and is married to a british bloke, Q magazine put her in the Top 5.
Compare to Aretha Franklin, Rickie Lee Jones, Diana Ross or Jonie Mitchell, Madonna is way behind them

kanamit said:

ummmm maybe it has something to do with all the hits she's had in england as compared to those women you mentioned.....

Her body of work cannot be compared to them.
Regardless of how famous she is .Most of her songs are just not as good but more popular thanks to the media circus around her and her nude or semi nude videos.
Sex sells as they say and it is all the more evident with Madonna who has no talent whatsoever( no voice, cannot play music, dancing=average)

Madonna is a product not an artist

kanamit said:

whatever you say dear

madonna deserves to be on that list IMO and she is. hope you don't lose too much sleep

Don't worry for my sleep i had plenty.
She deserves it as you say.
You dont seem to be very demanding when it comes to Music but whatever...

kanamit said:

we all have our opinions and i feel madonna's music is terrific. Her work appeals to me more than that of Arethra that's all. It speaks to me on a personal level as it has to millions upon millions of other people.

Madonna music terrific?

Terrific or simplistic?

kanamit said:

as we said we're entitled to our opinions, don't carry this out
please drop the subject

Chill Out!!!!
You're gettin' emotional

kanamit said:

i don't care what you say. you're not the first to dislike madonna on this board.
but carrying on by insulting others' views is not tolerated on this board.
you've said your peice, i've said mine. just leave it at that.

Who am I insulting apart from Madonna?
There's nothing personal mate!

kanamit said:

Many people on this site take it personally when someone doesn't like who they like (ie: Madonna). I agree with you that she should not be on this list, but you know the Brits. They often choose undeserving artists for stuff like this. Take Robbie Williams. Didn't they just vote one of his songs the best song of the past 25 years or some shit like that (I may not be accurate on the 25 years part). Anyway, that song sucks and so does Williams, but the Brits love him. They also love Madonna because she talks like them now, lives there and is married to a bloke from there. They can claim her as their own now and they love it so they give her all the props in the world. She has definitely had a huge influence on music, but I would never put her in the top 5. And, I would never put her on the same list as the great master - Bob Dylan!!
